Have car, will travel...

As the forecasters had promised it was a very windy day, so it wouldn't have been a good cruising day, and down the mine we didn't notice the wind! The museum is free with about an hour and a half tour down the mine, well worth the visit.

We also took the opportunity to visit Haworth known as Bronte country, where the 3 Bronte sisters lived with their father in the parsonage. Here they wrote 7 novels often inspired by the Yorkshire hills and moors, of which Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are the most famous.

By now we were on the way back to Bradford with our daughter, driving over the moors, glad we were in the car as it was soooo windy. Once we reached Bradford we did the good parent thing and took her to Tesco to restock her cupboards, and she cooked us a curry in return.

Glad to get back to Tacet and an early night, after a busy weekend and loads of driving, nearly 1500 miles over the last 10 days!

About Us

We have taken a break out of our busy lives to fulfil our dream of living aboard a narrow boat, travelling round the inland waterways of Britain. We are Ian and Karen with our slightly mad dog Jumble. Our two children are both away at University so it seemed a good opportunity to have our 'gap year' now. Think we might stretch it to 2 years to make sure we cover all the waterways on the map!
